Recently, a friend gave me the biography of one of the great intercessors of history, Daniel Nash. It is only 25 pages long but packs a big wallop. It mowed me down! I was "blown away" as we say here in the States by the way the Lord transformed a rejected, broken-hearted small church pastor into one of the mightiest prayer warriors in history, using his pain, brokenness and a physical affliction to do so. The booklet which you can read for yourself on the link below recounts this powerful story.
Father Nash, as he came to be called, would go into towns weeks or days before the much more famous preacher, Charles Finney, would arrive as part of a deliberate strategy to prepare the ground for revival. Nash would gather with one or two other intercessors, and they would give themselves to prayer, sometimes for days, laying on their faces in the spirit of travail until the assurance came that God would pour out His Spirit upon those communities. Finney relied on these selfless prayer warriors for the convicting outpouring of the Spirit that brought thousands upon thousands to Christ (over 100,000 in Rochester, New York alone), including blasphemous haters of the Gospel. Massive transformations of individual lives and families along with major social reforms that brought about the abolition of slavery and other marvelous results were the direct result of this revival now called the Second Great Awakening.
Nash only spent the last seven years of his life as Finney's partner in revival, but his quiet, behind the scenes, persistent heart-cries to God for the lost changed American history in profound ways. I was also encouraged by his obvious implementation of Jesus' powerful promise that even two or three can agree with prayers of unity and authority that will move both heaven and earth (Matthew 18:18-20). Of special relevance to those of us who work with children and youth, are these words concerning the Fulton Street Revival of the 1850's that arose in the generation after Nash and went around the world: "The youth of Nash's day were the leaders of perhaps the greatest revival of prayer in history."

A report has claimed that residents in Oregon are only now finding out that the state
allows teenagers as young as 15 to get state-subsidised sex-change operations without
parental notification. ‘It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our
children,’ Lori Porter of Parents' Rights in Education told Fox News on Thursday.
‘They're our children. And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done
without the knowledge of a parent or guardian, it's mind-boggling .’ The executive
director of the Trans-Active Gender Centre in Portland, said the Fox News report is
‘irrational’ and the policy does not mean that 15-year-olds can simply walk into a
doctor's office and get sex-change surgery. The facts are: The age of consent has been
15 since 1971. Youth in Oregon can access all healthcare at the age of 15. For sex-change
operations they do not have to be older than 15.
Between 21 June and 1 July, four Christians were abducted in Baghdad. One was released
following police intervention. Ransoms were paid for the others’ release. However, two
were murdered even though ransoms had been paid and one was released. Imad Youkhana, an
Iraqi Christian member of parliament, issued a statement decrying this violence and urged
Iraqi authorities to provide greater protection for Iraq's Christians. He said the
violence is part of an intimidation campaign to force Christians to emigrate and
undermines the unity of Iraqi society. An Iraqi NGO, the Hammurabi Human Rights
Organisation , today (13 July) issued a similar appeal for the protection of Christians
in Iraq.
China: Police, politics and human rights
15 Jul 2015
There was widespread detention of human rights lawyers last weekend after more than 100
lawyers across the mainland issued a joint statement protesting against the disappearance
of crusading lawyer Wang Yu. Mainland police detained lawyers and law firm staff and
searched some of their homes and offices. Three human rights groups say that other people
have disappeared. Across 15 cities 57 people were taken away, summoned or detained by
police. One of them, Guangzhou-based lawyer Sui Muqing, was placed under ‘residential
surveillance at a designated location’ - a form of detention - for alleged ‘incitement to
subvert state power’ according to a police document given to his family. Some have since
been released but were warned by police to refrain from publicly voicing their support
for Wang Yu. Since lawyers started openly identifying with human rights causes and
coordinating their advocacy campaigns, they have become the closest thing China has to a
political opposition.
Yemen: UN cease-fire fails to take hold
15 Jul 2015
A cease-fire brokered by the United Nations that was to allow the delivery of relief supplies failed to
materialise in Yemen on Saturday, as a Saudi-led military coalition carried out
airstrikes and fighting continued between the Houthi rebels and rival militias in several
cities. Many are saying the international community urgently needs to revisit its posture
on Yemen’s war and put pressure on all parties to end the conflict and address the
humanitarian catastrophe. The UN has designated Yemen a level-three humanitarian crisis,
the highest level in the UN's ranking system. 21 out of 25 million Yemenis are in urgent
need of humanitarian assistance, of which 20 million need immediate access to water and
hygiene and 13 million need food. Relief workers report the situation is deteriorating
rapidly. They cannot get sufficient aid into the country to stop the downward spiral.
Yemeni children are at particular risk. See also: http://www.al-

Canada: Church’s pastor missing in North Korea
15 Jul 2015
The Light Presbyterian Church continue praying for their founding pastor, detained in
North Korea since early March. Despite the lack of information, they remain hopeful that
God will bring Revd. Hyeon Soo Lim home. A member of the church said, ‘This is taking
longer than we would like, but we remind ourselves that God’s will trumps our desires, He
hears our prayers and He is good.’ Lim disappeared while visiting humanitarian facilities
in North Korea. Under his leadership, the missions-centred church regularly sends small
teams to oversee agricultural projects, food factories, schools, orphanages, and a
nursing home they founded. Those who know Lim well, say he has a long-term vision and
wouldn’t have risked the opportunities they have in North Korea by overtly sharing the
gospel. When they pray many members feel that God has a purpose, - God will use him to
work in the hearts of the people who are around him and bring him home in His timing.
